I finished it just Friday night. I had superfun to build it! This started as a Italeri Fire Jeep in 1/24, that actualy it was a Willys MB, but the chassis was the Ford one... It had some issue, but with some patience I fix it... So the first things was to convert the front grille from Willis MB to CJ (it has big head light and less bars). I scratch build the hood, because neither one Willys and CJ was working on the new body. Also the gas hose/cap now it is on the side of it, than under the seat. Some works also for the seat with add the pins. Afte scratch built all the equipment for make the Agri Jeep! HI-HO oil pump, K&K mower bar, PTO and Monroe lift, pretty much all the red stuff on it. For do that I stressed some people on a Jeep forum, for have some manual with great descriptions of those equipment. The Willys at that time, after the WWII, had some crisis to sell their veicle, so the start this CJ (civilian Jeep) that a lot of farmers drove around theirs fields! And helped out the Willys-Jeep from its crisis. I always loved this combination, Jeep - Tractor, and finally I build one!!! Very happy about it!!! I had a lot of fun doing it, and learn a lot. I wasen't sure if paint it green or blue, green with yellow wheels, would be like a John Deere, but I think in blue looks better... And also I have another Jeep project that I would like to paint in green... Soon I'll post more pics of it... Thanks for looking!!!

Thank you! But a the meeting, I had the Rat Rod one. ;D Because I couldn't find a tall box for the AgriJeep... And like Chuck suggest, I should cut the top of a box for fit it, but didn't though about that to...
